Suppose that money demand is given by M = $Y(0.30-i) where $Y is $200 and i denotes the interest rate in decimal form. Also, suppose that the supply of money is $25. Calculate the equilibrium interest rate as a percent. The equilibrium interest rate is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) If the Federal Reserve wants to increase the interest rate by 10 percentage points (0.1 in decimal form) over and above the equilibrium interest rate determined above, at what level should it set the money supply? The money supply should be set at $ (Round your response to one decimal place.)
Q1. Suppose that money demand is given by the following function MD=$Y (0.5 - i) and that nominal GDP is given by $200. Moreover, assume that the monetary base is given by H³ = $8. It is also known that people in this economy hold all their wealth either in form of checkable deposits or in form of bonds (i.e. people hold no currency) and that banks must hold 10% of the checkable deposits as reserves. (a) Calculate the money market equilibrium using that the supply and the demand for central bank money is equal. (b) Calculate the overall supply of money. (c) What happens to the money market equilibrium if the central bank decides to increase the monetary base to Hs = $9? (d) What are the effects on the overall money supply in the economy? (Calculate the new overall supply of money and explain your result.)
The quantity equation, also known as the equation of exchange, shows that the product of the money supply (M) and the velocity of money (V) is equal to the product of the price level (P) and real GDP (Q): Mx V = PxQ. Observe that when the left-hand side of the quantity equation, Mx V, changes by a given percentage, the right-hand side, P x Q, must change by the same percentage: Percentage Change in (Mx V) = = You can use the rule that the percentage change in the product of two variables is approximately equal to the sum of the percentage changes in each of the variables (as long as the percentage changes are fairly small) to further analyze changes in the variables of the quantity equation. In the following equation, let "%A" stand for "percentage change in": %AM+%AV = = Percentage Change in (PxQ) %AP+%AQ For example, if you know that the money supply grows at a rate of 8% per year, velocity grows at a rate of 1% per year, and real GDP grows at a rate of 5% per year, you can use this…
5. Changes in the money supply The following graph represents the money market in a hypothetical economy. As in the United States, this economy has a central bank called the Fed, but unlike in the United States, the economy is closed (that is, the economy does not interact with other economies in the world). The money market is currently in equilibrium at an interest rate of 6% and a quantity of money equal to $0.4 trillion, as indicated by the grey star.

Suppose in the economy of Apple Republic, the demand for money is given by Md = $Y (0.3 - i), where $Y = 100 and the supply of money (Ms) is $20. a. What is the equilibrium interest rate (i)? Answer: i = [ Select ] v %. b. If the central bank increases money supply (Ms) to $25, what is the impact on the interest rate? Answer: Interest rate (i) will [ Select ] to [ Select ] %.
Scenario 2 Suppose the money demand is given by MdYx (0.4 - i) = where i is the interest rate. Suppose income Y totals 250. 9. Refer to Scenario 2. If the money supply is M³ = 25, what is the equilibrium interest rate? 10. Refer to Scenario 2. Suppose the Federal Reserve just met and decided they would like to decrease the interest rate by 4 percentage points (compared to the equilibrium rate you found in the previous question). What kind of monetary policy should it use, and what would the money supply have to equal to achieve that goal? (Your answer should be two items: first is expansion or contraction, the second is the actual amount the money supply should be.)
Suppose that the following equations describe goods and money market equilibrium (symbols are as defined in the lecture notes). I curve: i = 200 - 2*Y; LM curve: i = - 400 + 6*Y. Equilibrium in the goods and money markets is where Y = 75 and i = 50 %3D %3D Y = 70 and i = 5 %3D Y = 60 and i = 8 %3D all of the above none of the above
c) The demand for money is given by: Md 0.5Y - 2000r i. If the income level is Y = 1000, and the interest rate is r= 10%, what is the demand for money? ii. What is the equilibrium level of interest rates when the supply of money is equal to 200? iii. What happens to the equilibrium rate of interest when increase in the money supply to 400?
Which one of the following statements regarding the demand for money is correct? (a) A positive relationship exists between the quantity of money demanded and the prevailing interest rate in an economy; (b) The demand for money is made up of the sum of all the money balances that participants in the economy would like to have; (c) For a given interest rate, an increase in nominal income increases the demand for money; (d) Two key factors that impact on the demand for money by individuals are savings and investments available to participants.
INTEREST RATE (Percent) 3 6 Suppose the money market for some hypothetical economy is given by the following graph, which plots the money demand and money supply curves Assume the central bank in this economy (the Fed) fixes the quantity of money supplied. Suppose the price level decreases from 90 to 75. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to show the impact of a decrease in the overall price level on the market for money. 18 Money Supply 15 12 0 0 10 20 30 Money Demand 40 50 60 MONEY (Billions of dollars) Money Demand Money Supply Ⓡ
Exercise 1 cr+1 Consider the money supply Ms=mxB , m = cr+rr Assume that the demand for real money is given by the equation (M/P)d=0.25Y, and that the output has been growing 3% per year. Assume, further, that you have been called before Congress to testify about the long-run effects of increasing the growth of the money supply to 10 % per year. 1. State, compute and explain the long-run effects of this change on the inflation rate, on the nominal interest rate, on the real interest rate, on investment and on the real GDP. For each of them, argue both using the formulae that we studied and the macroeconomic dynamic beyond the effect. 2. Compute the implied money velocity. Suppose that the actual nominal value of the output (PY) is 1000, the value of the reserves is 50 and the toal value of the deposits is 75. Find the actual money multiplier. 3. State the different ways in which the central bank can achieve the change (+10%) in the money supply (think about the variables that can…
Demand for money is given by the following equation: Md = 0.3y – 8r. If the actual output is decreased by $200,000, then the demand curve for money will shift: and a) direction (to the right/left; b) amount
